Welcome to the World of rare coins

Dear Client,

I thank you for the opportunity to present our company and have pleasure in providing you with information regarding coin investments.

Empire Coin is an investment company specializing in rare South African coins. Our areas of expertise and which have shown phenomenal percentage growth is the Mandela coins of the year 2000 and Inauguration (1994) as well as the Z.A.R. collection (1874 – 1902).

Rare coins offer a percentage growth of between 44% and 120% per annum and are capital gains tax free. It is always an excellent idea to diversify your investment portfolio with rare coins. The more you diversify, the lower your overall risk factor.

THE MAIN REASONS FOR INVESTING IN RARE COINS:

Rare coins are capital gains tax free. (There is no form of tax attached to it)
Rare coins have an international market and are an excellent opportunity for capital mobility to other countries.
Rare coins are not affected by inflation, the stock market or the gold price.
Rare coins offer portfolio diversification.
The percentage growth is higher than most other investments.
Concealment of wealth.

I can provide you with a long list of what determines a coin’s value, but the most important factors that investors should look at is: Grade, Mintage figure, beauty of design and perhaps the most important, is the history attached to a specific coin e.g. important person or historical occurrence. For example: The Mandela R5 (2000) grades in Proof (69), the highest graded Mandela coin that sold for a staggering R100 000 in 2006. That’s a percentage growth of 1,9million percent in just 6 years!

The reason why these coins fare so well is simple. Mr Nelson Mandela, our former president is the most famous political figure and are respected and loved worldwide. He endured terrible hardships and fought many struggles in the years leading up to his presidential status. He is a living legend in his own making and perhaps the most prominent individual of all times.

I strongly advise my clients to purchase a few Mandela coins as part of their coin investment portfolio as these coins will certainly increase substantially in value in the years to come. The lower grades are much more affordable. Our prices are significantly lower than most other coin companies.

Rare coins can never again be minted. They were the currency of the day and only become more rare en scarce as time passes. All royalty and high profile individuals own a rare coin collection. Our clients include prominent people in society, locally and abroad.

Empire Coin Trading cc prides ourselves on the fact that we build personal yet professional relationships with our clients, based on mutual trust.

I trust that you will find the above and attached information informative and interesting and hope to set up an appointment to tell you more about this profitable and passionate market.

Kind regards,

DAWN BARNARD
MANAGING DIRECTOR
